RenewableNY: Bringing Manufacturing Businesses the Power to Retrofit

Report last updated April 27, 2011

In 2005, the New York Industrial Retention Network (NYIRN), now a program of the Pratt Center for Community Development, launched RenewableNY, an initiative to encourage industrial companies in New York City to implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects, including solar electric and thermal installations, lighting replacements, and boiler upgrades.

The success of the program is now documented in a report from the Pratt Center, "RenewableNY: Bringing Manufacturing Businesses the Power to Retrofit." With a combination of project management and nearly $1 million in strategically timed small grants, NYIRN helped 39 NYC companies, employing more than 3,000 people, to implement energy efficiency projects. The projects leveraged an additional $2 million in private and public investment.
